I have M.S. I first used this for head pain caused by Avonex, it made it tolerable. I have since used it for near everything! I have osteo-arthritus with alot of pain, I also have severe ovary pain. This works! I love it. I only use it when I HAVE to. I can take up to 3 every 6 hours as needed, I have never needed that many! I dont use ibuprofin anymore I use this instead, it does not cause stomac...
Been on this for back pain. Isn't helping me at all. Makes me feel like I'm going to vomit but don't. Is this for real or a sugar pill. Dr told me it was the strongest daytime med he could give me. Anyone I talked to who took it said the same thing I said. I'm in a lot of pain.

My doctor suggested using this drug because in some cases it does not make people drowsy. That was the case for me. It helped me control pain yet stay clear enough for activities.

I have been told by several doctors that my physiology is more resistant to most all drugs, including the Chemotherapy I was on, it had to be increased several times, but that finally did the trick and I am cancer free now. Currently I have a few cracked ribs, Tramadol, doesn't word as good as aspirin for pain, he offered Vicodin, believe I will give that one a try.

Prescribed after minor hand surgery that was more painfull than carpol tunnel surgery. No side effects except when taking 2 pills I was very tired. Taking 1 every 3 hours instead of 2 every 6 hrs as prescribed. Workes much better.
